Health Safety Environment Officer

HSE Manager (Development Opportunity Available)

Location: Blackburn / Oldham (regular office/site presence required)

Sector: Building Maintenance & Property Services

Employment Type: Full-time, permanent

The Opportunity

I am supporting a fast-growing UK business in the building maintenance and property services sector as they continue to expand nationally. We are looking for an HSE Manager – however, this can also be a development role for someone early in their Health & Safety career.

If you hold a NEBOSH qualification, have the right attitude, and keen to build a long-term career in Health & Safety, the business will train, mentor and put you through further courses where needed. To benefit fully from this development pathway, you must be based near Blackburn or Oldham, as you will spend time on-site and with senior leaders to build capability.

For experienced candidates, this is a hands-on, site-focused position where you will champion safety and quality standards across civil works, refurbishments, and fit-out projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and oversee compliance with CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO standards, and public-sector frameworks.
• Carry out site inspections, review contractor documentation, and ensure safe and high‑quality delivery.
• Produce clear reports, investigate incidents, and support root cause analysis with corrective actions.
• Help develop and maintain site protocols, RAMS, and standard operating procedures.
• Work closely with clients, auditors, and certifying bodies, representing the business professionally.
• Contribute to tender requirements and help maintain key H&S accreditations.
• For development-path applicants: learn on the job, attend funded training, and build toward full HSE Manager responsibility.

• Willing to travel nationwide when required.

2. Early‑Career / Development Candidates

• Must hold a NEBOSH qualification.
• Motivated, proactive, and eager to learn.
• Comfortable working on sites and engaging with contractors.
